Turn your iPhone or iPad into a powerful pixel-mapped LED controller. LumenLED sends Art-Net, sACN, and WLED data over your local network to drive LED installations with stunning generative effects, audio-reactive patterns, and image mapping. PIXEL GRID PATCHING Define grids up to 100×100 pixels with 8 patch directions including zigzag and snake patterns. Configure start channel, universe, and pixel order (RGB, GRB, BGR, RGBW). Visual editor shows channel assignments and patch order. Test mode lets you step through pixels one by one or run an auto-chase. 12 GENERATIVE EFFECTS Rainbow, Plasma, Fire, Sparkle, Wave, Gradient, Chase, Breathe, Strobe, plus three audio-reactive modes. Each effect supports 5 spatial directions: Forward, Reverse, Center Out, Edges In, and Diagonal. Adjust speed, intensity, and dual colors in real time. AUDIO REACTIVITY Three audio-reactive effects respond to music through your microphone: Audio Wave modulates a sine wave by loudness, Audio Bass drives intensity from low frequencies with beat flash, and Audio Spectrum maps frequency bands across your pixel grid. Real-time FFT analysis with bass, mid, and treble meters. IMAGE MAPPING Pick any photo and map it onto your pixel grid. Grid Map samples colors at each pixel position. Dominant Color and Palette modes extract and spread colors across your installation. LIVE PREVIEW See exactly what your LEDs are doing with a real-time 30fps on-screen preview that reads directly from the DMX buffer.
